00:00So the other thing that's happening, Sid, in your world is this spat, this argument, this brawl that keeps happening between Elon Musk and the Ryanair CEO, Michael Leary.
00:10What is happening there? And Musk, you know, posting, should I buy Ryanair? How much would it cost to buy you?
00:16Is any of that, should we take it seriously? Might Musk try to buy a low-budget European airline?
00:21I mean, it's anyone's guess at the moment, but I mean, it wouldn't be easy for Musk, especially as European rules don't allow control of an airline by a non-European entity.
00:33At the same time, I mean, Elon Musk is opinionated and Michael Leary is also famously opinionated and he's sort of got an opinion about most things on aviation and otherwise.
00:43And so this is an interesting battle, especially at a time when Ryanair sort of doubling down on their low-cost business, sort of focusing on the fact that low-cost, Michael Leary said that low-cost carriers, their customers don't expect free Wi-Fi on planes or Wi-Fi on planes.
01:00And so that's going to be an interesting situation and it'll be interesting to see how that plays out.
01:04He's wrong about that. You know, I mean, I don't know about you, but when I'm flying on a plane these days, I expect them to have Wi-Fi.
01:13On Ryanair even? I feel like I can't even recline my seat. I don't expect Wi-Fi.
01:18I was going to say, Matt's not the customer for Ryanair. I mean, they talk about how their tickets are cheaper than pizzas.
01:26And so Ryanair is sort of famously known for charging for every single item.
01:31By the way, I don't know if that's true. I feel like, well, I mean, it's been a while since I've traveled Ryanair, but like maybe three years ago, it was not cheaper than a pizza.
01:39True. I mean, they also tend to fly to airports where no other competition exists, and sometimes the airports are not quite where they are.
01:47Well, let's go back now.
01:47All right.
01:48All right.
01:52Okay.
01:56Bye-bye.
01:59Bye-bye.
